There are few things nicer to look forward to than a luxury holiday in a sun-drenched destination. Unfortunately, luxury holidays usually come with high price tags, especially during the peak holiday seasons. However, there are some methods to use that will significantly reduce the price of a luxury holiday to a more affordable level.
A luxury holiday does mean different things to different people but the general assumption is five-star hotels in beautiful surroundings. The Mediterranean island of Ibiza has long been a desired holiday destination thanks to the beautiful beaches and fabulous nightlife. Cheap holidays to Ibiza are available but if you’re looking for a touch of luxury then the upmarket hotels will be hard to beat. Booking a last minute holiday to Ibiza is always a good way to obtain low-cost luxury accommodation but there are other ways to find luxury bargains.
Many people will only book their holidays through travel agents and this can be a good option if you are prepared to negotiate over prices. Travel operators make commission, which means they will usually negotiate prices if a sale looks likely.
Another option is to book directly through the airlines and hotel websites in order to research your options thoroughly before your book. Online research means you can compare hotels and the amenities they offer before booking. Check out the difference between four and five star rated hotels to see if you are really getting more for the price of that one extra star.
When it comes to booking flights there are a few golden rules to follow in order to find the lowest prices. Midweek prices will always be lower than Friday to Monday prices. Flying early in the morning or late at night will also bring lower priced flights and booking well in advance is the preferable option.
Ibiza is an all year round sunshine destination, which means you are pretty much guaranteed sunshine whenever you arrive. However, the peak holiday season in Ibiza is from June through September due to the higher temperatures and the school holidays. Booking either side of these months will mean significant accommodation discounts. These discounts can be as much as a 70% reduction simply by booking either side of the peak holiday season months.
The trouble with Mediterranean destinations is that many hotels, clubs and restaurants do shut down during the winter months but not all of them. If you fancy some winter sunshine in Ibiza in a luxury hotel then book early using online hotel websites. The temperatures in Ibiza during December will be around 55F and a four star luxury hotel will set you back around $500 per person, per week. That same four star hotel during July will cost $1,830 per person, per week.
Research is the key to finding a luxury holiday at a reduced price. However, choosing the low seasons can mean an extended holiday for a fraction of the cost of a one week holiday during the peak season.
